TODAY I WATCHED (TV-series, Movies, Cinema Playlists) 2012

With the young'ins earlier this evening:

"Baby's Day Out" (1994)


In this "Home Alone" variant from John Hughes, a trio of inept crooks kidnap the baby of a wealthy Chicago family, planning to hold him for ransom. Unfortunately the baby slips out of their grasp and goes on an adventure through the streets of Chicago. When the bad guys attempt to recapture him, cartoonish mayhem follws their every move and they end up falling from tall objects, getting hit in the head, whacked in the crotch, and otherwise abused a whole lot.

My kids thought this movie was a absolute scream, esp. when "Baby Bink" sets Joe Mantegna's most tender area on fire with a lighter and one of his fellow crooks puts it out by stomping on it repeatedly. OUCH!!

Harmless fun for kids, painless for their parents (except for that crotch-stomping scene... my kids were rollin' on the floor laughing and I was curled into the fetal position. Haha).

Red Dwarf Season III

That is essentially a variation on "Three Godfathers" (filmed twice in 1936 & 1948 and copied many times since) a film about 3 cowboys taking care of an infant.

"The Bounty Hunter" (2010)


In this light romantic action comedy, Gerard Butler is a down on his luck bounty hunter who thinks he's finally going to get some long-overdue revenge when he's assigned to bring in his ex-wife (Jennifer Aniston), who's skipped bail. Unfortunately she's a reporter who's investigating a story involving crooked cops and mobsters, which makes them both targets. Bullets fly, cars crash, and do I have to tell you whether or not the mismatched pair will fall back in love during their adventure?

A fun flick that gets a little too cutesy-poo around the halfway mark but is mostly entertaining. Oh, and Aniston looks smokin' hot in a little black dress for nearly the entire movie.

Watched John Carter this evening

Lynn Collins has pretty eyes

VERY well-made rom-com with the gorgeous Sandra Bullock.

Smackdown

Smallville first episode of season 1

The Expendables 2 - lots of violence, explosions and mayhem = fun flick. Great to see Chuck Norris back in action (with a bit of play on the Chuck Norris jokes going around these days). Arnold had some fun at the expense of his "I'll Be Back" line. Highly recommend!

Altenating between Red Dwarf and Newsradio. I'm back to:

Awesome movie!

"Total Recall" (1990)



Classic sci-fi action flick w/Arnold Schwarzenegger as a 30th century construction worker who finds out that his memories are a lie, implanted in his brain as part of a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Mars. Lotsa stuff blows up as he travels to the Red Planet to uncover the truth.

One of Arnold's best flicks, directed by Paul "RoboCop" Verhoeven and featuring Sharon Stone at her absolute peak of hottie perfection.

Meow-za!!

Still a great ride even after all these years.

AM Raw

Two episodes of The Flash

Watched 3 dragon flavored flics on ScyFy channel last evening

The first tried to be philosophical with it's take on Moby Dick, The second one was predictable. and the third was a bit better than the other two. Not saying much, though it was kewl to see "evil/angry" looking CG dragons instaed of "grandpa-ee/talking" ones

"Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero" (1998)


In the second feature length spinoff from "Batman: The Animated Series," Mr. Freeze returns to Gotham and kidnaps Barbara (Batgirl) Gordon, whose rare blood type may the the key to a cure for Freeze's terminally ill wife. Of course, Batman and Robin race to the rescue.

As usual with this series, "Sub-Zero" features great animation, a well written and action packed story, and an excellent voice cast. I wish the animated series crew had been in charge of the Batman live-action films at the time, rather than Joel Schumacher.

I have not seen that Batman & Mr Freeze movie yet, but I have put it on my list.
